I think your transfer case is messed up. When you took the tranny out of park, it started spinning. When you shoved it in park, well, you told us.

Good luck!

I bet that your tranny output shaft is spinning when you take it out of park. Since there is nothing working on the transfer case, it just sits there spinning, until you put it in park. The grinding you hear is probably the park pawl. Dont do that too much. You might make things worse. Sounds like someone here needs to jump in that knows more about transfer cases than I do.

I'm no specailist but I say drop the T/C and see if everything is in working order. spin the input and see if the rear out moves is prob first thing i would try. Shouldnt take to long to drop it. they come out pretty easy without much cussing.
